Students contribute imaginative talents The Art Club provided the student body with the opportunity to try out its own artistic abili- ty in the traditional Art Club Pumpkin Carve- In. Each participant carved his pumpkin carefully and as fast as possible. When time ran out, all waited impatiently to find out whose pumpkin had won a prize for being the best one in its category. With the combination of creativity and lots of work, Art Club members adorned the office windows with Christmas murals. Many students stopped to praise and look more closely at the unique ways in which the murals were constructed. Never ending practices after school each day marked the beginning of the Drama CIub's enthusiasm and interest in the coming year. Each member had to work hard and cooperate with everyone else in order to assure success in presenting the plays. After the performance of each play, the various ac- tors and all those who contributed to the play's performance were rewarded with applause from their audiences. 1.

Students engage in rewarding proiects In order to learn more about the respon- sibilities of a teacher, a few members of the Future Teachers of America aided some of the faculty at Flora M. Hill School. Several bake sales were held to strengthen the club's finan- cial status. Also, the club organized an occa- sion where qualified persons from various colleges came to discuss with them the necessary requirements for becoming a teacher. Future Homemakers of America began the year by hosting the Annual Fall Rally for the Dellwood Federation.
